Paper To Place Studio Ltd

Thoughtful, sustainable architecture, shaped around the lives of the people who live it.

We are an architecture and interior design practice, based in North London, offering architecture and Interiors from Paper to Place. Inclusive design is at the heart of what we do, with a focus on creating beautifully crafted, sustainable homes tailored to the people who live in them. We want everyone to feel welcome, safe, and supported by the spaces they call home. Our approach is rooted in careful listening, close collaboration, and a deep understanding that thoughtful design can enrich everyday life and each space should work for the way your body moves through it.

We work with private residential clients all over London, and we usually have ongoing collaborations in in Bounds Green, Muswell Hill and Palmers Green. With two decades of experience across the UK and Europe, we bring care, clarity, and creativity to every project, designing homes that celebrate individuality and create a true sense of belonging.

Architecture with Heart and Expertise

Founded by Deborah de Boer with over 20 years of experience across the UK and Europe, Paper to Place brings together technical expertise and a deep passion for inclusive design.  Designing with empathy, ensuring that each decision reflects not only technical precision but also the values, emotions, and stories of those who will inhabit the space. 

By blending creativity with technical knowledge, we create designs that stand the test of time, both functionally and emotionally.

Whether it’s your home, a community space, or a small urban intervention, we approach each project with heart and expertise, striving to create environments that truly belong to the people they serve.

Our Services

From carefully considered refurbishments, beautifully crafted extensions and loft coversions to complete new builds, and elegant interior design schemes - we design honest and personal homes that combine elegance, sustainability, and comfort.
We can provide front-end feasibility sketches if you simply want to explore possibilities, develop planning drawings ready for submission, right through to on-site monitoring and everything in between.

From initial concept sketch to your completed space, we offer a helping hand through the whole process, from Paper to Place.

This is the first step towards a home that brings you true joy.

We will be able to advise if your project is subject to planning permission or not.

Technical Drawings and Specifications / Building Control Submissions

A robust set of technical information is necessary to secure Building Control Approval and to ensure your build is compliant and safe.

Interior Design

We shape interiors that are both stylish and practical, tailored to the way you live. From layouts to finishes, we bring together comfort, elegance, and personal expression to create spaces you’ll love every day.

On site Construction Support and Contract Administration

During construction, it is over to you and your trusted contractor, although sometimes clients like us to stick around to help manage the build and administration of the contract.
